Chicken Tetrazzini (Gluten Free, Dairy Free)

Chicken tetrazzini is an American pasta dish – if you google it there are many stories about its origins so I’m not sure of its actual history.  There are also many takes on it – some with chicken and some with seafood and a variety of different vegetables and toppings.  This is my version of it which I’ve made suitable for us folks that can’t have gluten or dairy.

Rather than use spaghetti I went with fusilli pasta – I find gluten free spaghetti hard to cook and I imagined this dish becoming a stuck together mess so picked fusilli as a safer option.  I also topped it with fresh parsley and some dairy free cheese – sometimes it has breadcrumbs but I decided to omit them as I didn’t have any gluten free ones to hand.  So in conclusion it might not be traditional tetrazzini but it is easy to make and super tasty.
